Drove my first 200 today!

[roystinho]

Pearl white if your going to get one. It's different and they are rare as rocking horse s**t!

No regrets at all getting mine in that colour!

And looks the dogs danglies

Don't mind SG but as stated, it's a solid colour. If it was Lunar Grey however Alex you wouldn't have had my PW one

 

[lewisflintham]

Sorry if its a silly question but whats owt mean?

owt = anything. As in, "get anything better for the money".

 

[200 Alex]

Lunar grey is a lovely colour so I wouldn't mind that at all Danny

 

[yeecup]

I do like these

I think a 182 will feel faster as its a lot smaller.The thing is the fastest 182 nurburg lap ive seen is 8:40btg compared to an 8:18 clio 200 lap its not the speed thats the thing its the whole chassis setup etc

Plus they look amazing especially that ly one on the first page!

We went from a 200 to a 182!! (thieving gits stipped the 200 and the wife said sell it).

Prefer the 182 engine, seems a lot more torquey, but the clutch is too heavy. Handling is like a go kart. Cheap fun car. Poor build quality.
The 200 was new, so no rattles, seemed better built, but who knows after a few years?? As you said, brakes are amazing, and the handling was razor sharp. Much bigger than the 182.

Personally, would by a new 182 over a 200, but obviously 182's haven't been sold for a few years! The wife prefes the 200?!?!

Ian.

 

[twing0joe]

TDidnt they change the ecu and various other things on the 200 so they had more mid range and low down power?

Forgot one thing the engine and exhaust sound amazing!

 

[yeecup]

Expensive though for a new one.

 

[Ianboom]

Paid just over £15k for mine with white paint and a cup pack.
Sold it back to renault 12 months later for £12500.

 

[twing0joe]

Hopefully when the new clio rs comes out the prices will take a fall.

Saying that as rumour has it it will be the last n/a rs sk definately worth collecting

I think the last of the 200's will hold their value pretty well IMO.

The 3 door focus ST's are holding theirs because of the same thing happening with the next shape, 5 door only.

 

[twing0joe]

Yeah didnt think of that! Urgh 5 door! What do they think is an evo?

You just need to buy clever with a 200.

Buy something bespoke and with at least a fair bit of spec. Then you won't have trouble when it comes to selling.

How 'bespoke' can you make a mass produced car?

[200 Alex]

I bought pearl white, how many of those do you see?

 

[Advikaz]

I bought pearl white, how many of those do you see?

33 in the country when I got mine according to Renault.

 

[200 Alex]

Exactly. I'm sure it will get more popular.

Maybe bespoke wasn't the right word, just make it desirable.
